The little white cat next to the stone bench was really pitiful. Chen Shujun couldn’t bear it and wanted to go over and pick it back up.
Jiang Sui pulled her, and Chen Shujun looked puzzled, but because of her trust in Jiang Sui, she did not go over to hug the kitten.
The strange looks from the classmates and teachers were like needle pricks. At this time, Duan Ling also reacted and walked out with an ugly face. Her hand was scratched by a cat and she had to go back quickly to treat the wound.
As soon as she left, Chi Yan naturally had to follow her.
After they left the gate of the nursing home, Jiang Sui said to Chen Shujun, “Let’s go see the kitten.”
Chen Shujun nodded quickly, and a group of girls gathered around.
The kitten was not in good condition. She could no longer meow and looked weak.
An old teacher said: “Don’t touch it. Lao Fang was a veterinarian when he was young. Let him take a look.”
An old man on crutches came over to take a look: “Let’s see if we can save its life.”
The girls were a little anxious and sad.
The old man said: “It’s getting late, kids, please go back quickly, otherwise your family will have to worry. We will take care of the kittens.”
The classmates agreed and went home together. Most of them were discussing the scene where Duan Ling smashed the cat.
“I now believe the rumors about the fight between Duan Ling and Senior Lin Wenwen. She is really vicious.”
“The kitten was obviously not hers. I saw her hugging it and pinching its tail, because of which the kitten bit her.”
“She won’t be a psychopath, right…”
Chen Shujun asked: “Jiang Sui, why didn’t you let me see the kitten just now?”
Jiang Sui said: “Duan Ling was still there. She has a very strong personality. If you go over, she would have taken the cat back again, and the kitten may not survive.”
And when the injury was serious, no matter whether it was a person or an animal, it could not be easily moved.
Chen Shujun was frightened after hearing this. She thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case. The more inferior a person was, the more afraid they were of losing, for fear that they would be seen to not be as good as others. If she had gone over at that time, Duan Ling would not have let Chen Shujun touch it and might have even taken it away.
“Then are you really angry with Chi Yan?”
Jiang Sui followed her classmates with short legs, nodded, and shook her head.
Chen Shujun was confused: “Are you angry or not?”
Jiang Sui said slowly: “When I didn’t react, I was angry, but when I reacted, I wasn’t angry anymore.”
Chen Shujun couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter: “Jiang Sui, you are so cute.”
Jiang Sui sighed. She told the truth, but Chen Shujun thought she was telling a joke. She was angry subconsciously, so she couldn’t control her body’s instinct and called him a liar. However, now she understood that she was expecting Chi Yan to treat her with a friendly attitude unilaterally.
She brought water to Chi Yan, used her pocket money to buy him gloves, raised the little turtle dove until he was white and fat, and even sent him to the hospital…
The more people gave, the more they subconsciously wanted to ask for something in return. Jiang Sui was not a saint, she was just an ordinary person. She was a little aggrieved at the time, but then she realized that Chi Yan didn’t know what she was doing, and she didn’t want him to know, so Chi Yan deceiving her in order to please Duan Ling was the best thing for him.
She hoped he would always be like this, with a cold heart and an iron body, to embrace his splendor and wealth.
As long as he was still the Mr. Chi Yan that she admired, she would be the same.
….
Duan’s house.
Duan Ling was not in a good mood after receiving the injection and went to sleep with her head covered.
Lao Zhang rubbed his hands: “Chi Yan, how about we go pick up the cat that Miss Duan Ling threw away and keep it?”
Chi Yan shook his head. The young man looked calm and no one could tell what he was thinking. In fact, Lao Zhang was not a big fan of cats. He just thought that the throw today was a bit harsh. The cat probably hadn’t even been weaned yet. Duan Ling insisted on snatching it away but didn’t treat it well. This kind of attitude could be seen to be quite heartbreaking.
Chi Yan said calmly: “I don’t have time to take care of it. The young lady will be angry if she finds out.”
Lao Zhang raised his head and glanced at Chi Yan, feeling that he was a little cold.
Chi Yan said nothing more and rode home.
That night, Duan Ling fell asleep in a daze and was awakened by a cat’s miserable cry. She listened suspiciously, but the meow disappeared again. She finally suppressed her frantic heartbeat and fell asleep. As a result, faint and terrifying screams sounded around her again. Duan Ling was frightened and screamed. This repeated several times, and she did not dare to sleep anymore.
Chi Yan went to pick up Duan Ling on Monday.
She didn’t wear a mask and was screaming at Duan Tianhai with her bare feet: “I told you it wasn’t a hallucination, there was really a cat meowing. I didn’t sleep all night! Dad, you don’t believe me!”
Duan Tianhai knew what kind of temper his daughter had. Although he searched the house and couldn’t find the cat, he still said quickly: “Dad believes you. Let’s rest at home today and not go to school. I’ll let Sister Qin accompany you.”
Chi Yan stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
After Duan Tianhai left, Duan Ling covered her face, with tears in her eyes: “I didn’t want to either, I didn’t want to drop it on the stone bench…” She seemed to think of something, “Uncle Zhang, Chi Yan, do you believe me?”
Uncle Zhang lowered his head and was about to hesitate and say he believed it. But Chi Yan stepped forward and said calmly: “Of course we believe you, Miss Duan Ling, you didn’t mean it.”
Tears finally fell from Duan Ling’s eyes. She hurriedly put on a mask and hugged her knees without saying a word.
Duan Ling didn’t have to go to class today, so naturally Chi Yan couldn’t go to class either.
Uncle Zhang walked out of the house and whispered: “She is always like this. Every time she makes a mistake, she says she didn’t mean it. She deserves to be taught a lesson this time. Let’s see if she dares to do it again in the future!”
Chi Yan: “Be careful what you say and do.”
Uncle Zhang reacted and quickly shut his mouth.
After Uncle Zhang left, Chi Yan walked around to the back of the garden. Aunt Zheng, who was cleaning there, looked at him in panic.
Chi Yan nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Aunt Zheng’s face turned pale: “I will only help you this time. If the lady gets to know that I put a tape recorder in her cabinet, I will be finished.”
Chi Yan said calmly: “She won’t find out.”
Aunt Zheng: “Then about me secretly taking the necklace from the house…”
Chi Yan said: “I won’t tell anyone. Now you have nothing to do with me, right?”
Aunt Zheng was relieved. Working in the Duan family was a fat job. She could always avoid surveillance and make some money. She didn’t want to be fired.
